letra de dear mom and dad - art linkletter

this morning a letter was returned
stamped, moved, no address
it was one i wrote you
a couple of weeks ago

and it is now in my desk with
other letters unopened and returned

i write again because i must

[diane]
dear mom and dad
i guess you’re kinda worried about me
well, don’t be
i’m not going to tell you where i am
but since i ran away i’ve been to a lot of places
i-i tried many times before to write this letter
but i couldn’t put the words down

[art]
a father, they say
worries about his son but
for his daughter he has dreams

well, my first dream for you
was sixteen years ago on that day
we brought you home from the hospital
as we stood over your crib
we knew you were something special

then years later
in a moment of anger, you cried
‘but you don’t understand!’
and i didn’t

[diane]
it’s funny, but i can’t remember what our big fight was about
then i had left
all i know was that somebody was always putting me down
i was being afraid of being myself

[art]
your generation asks to be left alone
they want it so that each may find his own thing
but where is this thing for which you search?

[diane]
since i split i know i’ve got to find things out for myself
mom, every afternoon when i came home and locked the door to my room, you thought i was doing homework
well, i wasn’t
but all you did was preach at me over and over
you didn’t want to know how i felt
i live with some kids in a big old house
and we help each other

[art]
come back
come back before you’re trapped
in a life that daily grows
more aimless and unreal
if you return
we three can reach each other
by talking and listening
and i mean the kind of listening
that is also tuned to silence

[diane]
since i’ve been away, i met a lot of weirdos, pot smokers and speed freaks
but i found out how to tell the beautiful people from the phonies
i might come home some day
but right now i’ve got to do what’s right for me
mom, don’t cry and daddy, take care of yourself
no matter what, i’ll always love you both

[art]
mother has remained
behind me as i write
a second ago
she gently touched my shoulder
as she moved away
she’s now sitting in her chair
with an open book in her lap
but i know she’s not seeing the words
her thoughts, her thoughts
are far away somewhere with you
it’s very quiet here, too quiet
i walked into your room last night
and the walls seemed to be asking
for the sound of your voice
as much as i am aching
for the feel of your embrace
so please come back to us
we love you, call collect
